Charlotte thought that crossing over would be the end of her troubles. But, it is just the beginning. Unfortunately, her Dead Ed class has taken a de-tour and life, or death, seems to be one big disappointment after another. She is shocked to learn she must complete an internship at a call centre for troubled teens, being the little voice inside their head, showing them the way. It turns out, just as she thought, her time at the call centre is all that entertaining with nothing to do except watch all of her 'friends' and new girl Maddy answering call after call. Charlotte might as well give up, except one day after a Petula-pedicure-gone-wrong, Scarlet needs help and Charlotte is the only one that can.

I enjoyed this book much more than the first instalment. I thought the plot was really original, whereas the first one was the typical 'girl wants to be popular and get a hot boyfriend' type of thing. Ghostgirl: Homecoming had fun and exciting new characters and had everything I wasn't expecting in it. This book explained parts that weren't explained in the first one. For example, you understood why Charlotte didn't miss her parents as much as any normal girl would. It was also much deeper and more emotional than the last and I found myself wanting to cry at parts. There was just the right amount of emotion that was needed in the last one but still being so funny at times.

There aren't many negatives concerning this book except for the fact it was a little slow-paced and desperately needed some action in some parts. This is definitely not meant as a stand-alone novel but it is a great teen read with a twist!

This is the second book in an amazing series. The author really stuck with how the characters were portrayed in the first book. The sequel was less witty and more far-fetched than the first but still was interesting and fun to read. This book was also more frightening and more 'heavy' you might say. There's not much that could have made this book scarier to read before bed! I had nightmares while reading this! Four stars, you'll see I gave it, but only because this book made me feel...worried. All-in-all, this was a fantastic book and I recommend it. Anyone who likes the first book will probably like the second book. Great job, Tonya Hurley, you've done it again. Two-thumbs-up. ( )

Less clever. ( )

Ghostgirl:Homcoming was a great continuation of Charlotte's story! Once again, Tonya Hurley spins an interesting perspective of the afterlife, and offers another witty and entertaining story. Book 2 draws you into the story a lot quicker than Book 1 and has more depth, just making the story that much better.

As the book goes on, you see characters, Charlotte especially, grow and as that happens, they really grow on you as a reader. You see some expected changes in characters while also juggling the true intent of others.

The ending seemed a bit abrupt, but it still was a great book! Out of the two books, I'd have to say this one was probably my favorite.

Once again, the cover is amazing and the pages are neat designs on them. ( )

Attention goths, gouls, and undead cheerleader wannabes - the much-anticipated sequel to ghostgirl is now available! In the follow-up to Tonya Hurley's best-selling debut, Charlotte Usher is struggling with her new un-life. After passing "Dead Ed," she and her classmates are assigned to a phoneback, acting as a heavenly conscience for troubled teens. But her phone never seems to ring, her friends seem to be ingnoring her, and her new room mate, Maddy, is strange at best. Most of all, she misses her BFF, Scarlet, who is still alive. But when Scarlet's sister, Petula, gets an infection from her pedicure and ends up in a coma, Scarlet is positive that Charlotte is her sister's last hope. Together the girls must find a way to help the comatose cheerleader - but only if Maddy doesn't get in the way. While the prose style leaves much to be desired, and the new characters are extremely underdeveloped, Hurley's humor mostly makes up for this novel's flaws. Perfect for a fun summer read, ghostgirl fans will adore this hilarious second novel, and will soon be clamoring for a third. ( )
